An Approach to Building Finescale Track 110pages Softback
Iain Rice 1991 £12.95
Working from the principles behind prototype trackwork this book concentrates on point and crossing construction. I know from experience what goes wrong if you don't do this! The problems of wiring and operating are also covered.

The Art of Weathering 112pages Softback
Martyn Welch 1994 £14.95
A superb book, a practical manual of how to weather model railways of both historic and modern eras, but a book which is also a delight to look through for the sheer artistry of the results achieved by the author. One slight word of caution, the techniques assume the use of an airbrush, although the principles guiding the application of paint apply equally well to all methods.

Landscape Modelling 66pages Softback
Barry Norman 1986 £12.95
An inspiring book, visually pleasing but also very practical in its advice on techniques for model railway scenery. Although the author is very skilled, and the book illustrates some of the most convincing model scenes ever created, the author does not "talk down" to the beginner and the methods and ideas he describes are easy to understand and adopt.

Plastic Structure Kits 76pages Softback
Iain Rice 1988 £9.95
A whole book devoted to using and getting the most from the versatile "Wills" moulded plastic sheets, kits and scenic details. In addition to showing you how to build bridges stations and all sorts of other structures, the author's excellent sketches show in detail the methods of construction adopted by the prototype and the book is theefore useful for modelling in scales other than 4mm.
